2) West Brom
3) Sheff Utd
4) Cardiff (play-off winners)
5) Bournemouth
6) Middlesbrough

Relegated

22) Huddersfield
23) Derby
24) Peterborough

League 1

1) Ipswich
2) Sunderland
3) Portsmouth

Not sure why you’ve got Newport winning the play offs if they are finishing 3rd

If the rumours of Mel Morris actually giving trialist players contracts with no dates or salary details on - to be signed by lunch tomorrow so they can play at the weekend - are true they may not even have a team to field.

This Derby situation is making a mockery of the EFL, and you do wonder how long this living by the seat of their pants mantra can continue.

Middlesbrough to be promoted and QPR top 6 will form part of my bets when I get round to it.

Now that would be funny. :lol: I can see Rovers getting relegated, but I think they'll just have enough to survive alas, however I doubt Accy will be able to sustain another promotion push, I can see a few of their stars being poached in the last few weeks of the window.

On the subject of Derby, they've made three signings today - Curtis Davies, Ryan Allsop and Richard Stearman

QPR have been superb in pre-season playing some really quick incisive football. If they can keep that level they could go close

QPR had an excellent second half to last season, normally a good marker. I have them top 3.
Boro in Colin’s second season will go close.

Fulham, Ipswich and Bradford Sh1tty will NOT win their respective leagues, especially Bradford Sh1tty. I dislike them almost as much as Leeds.
